Nowadays around 30% of the stock exchange transactions are carried out by the high-frequency trading (HFT) algorithms.

Following the line exposed by Lacalle in this book, in this post I’m going to write about two distinct approaches to stock exchange trading based on artificial intelligence; namely, the Intelligence Trading System and the Stock Quantity Selection Component.
